So the shrine near Wetland Stable (Forward Force I think?):

This whole thing is just trolling, right? The premade car easily plows over the lava, but then…WTF? The only thing I could figure out how to do for BOTH subsequent puzzles was cheese them by attaching planks together until I could reach the ball with Ultrahand from the target platforms.

I have two engineering degrees and this game is making me feel like they should be taken away from me.

ah, that's where that one was, I was trying to remember what it was called so I could ask other people what the gently caress was up with it

no, I still have no idea what mechanic that shrine was trying to tutorialize

checking it again, the second room if you put put the flat panel on the side of the sliding block and put two wheels on it just right, it can "just drive" up the side of the slats. third room...it feels like it's trying to tutorialize the wheels as some form of water propulsion, but it might also be "use the rafts with wheels to drive up on top of the two walls, just line it up very carefully"? I'm still at a bit of a loss there

You attach the planks to the hubcaps of the wheels to make a paddle boat

Trade zonaite for crystallized charges at refineries, they’re found near mines. You need 300 crystals for a full cell

While you need 300 for a full cell, that's more like you need 20 Lights of Blessing for a full stamina wheel. The smallest discrete turn-in requirement is 100 for a third of a cell.

You can skip the second puzzle of Forward Force by placing the car about halfway up the ramp and just climbing up the ladder to Ultrahand it from there.

And yeah the third one is slapping planks on the sides of the wheels to make a paddleboat. It's one of those things that feels like surely they hadn't accounted for, yet it just works.

Go to Tarrytown and help Father and Wife send their kiddo off to Hogwarts, then Rhondason will let you purchase a Dream Home. Then you purchase individual rooms to glue together on your plot of land.

Where is all the armor, I've been in a bunch of caves and I've found only a couple of pieces and I spoiled myself on some sets and I'm clearly not a thorough enough explorer :(

Also I just finished the Water Temple and uh, the ability seems pretty useless compared to the Wind and Fire ones

Out of curiosity has anyone found where you can customize the paraglider? I've gotten a couple of cloths now but haven't run into wherever that may be.

Go do Rito Village first, then go swing by Lookout Landing til Josha sends you on a spelunking mission or two.

For Forward Force I simply lifted the ball up to the receptacle at the start. I saw there was a bunch of puzzle poo poo in the distance but it seemed complicated so I didn't bother.

How's that work, because the entire shrine seemed like it was set up to not let you do that?

Lean the metal plate up against the wall with the ladder on it. Walk up the metal plate. Grab the ball and raise it as high as it will go. Drop it and climb the ladder. Recall the ball back up to its high point, then grab it and place it in the receptacle.

there's a lot of ways to cheese just about every shrine but I was trying to pick up what the developers were putting down, since a lot of the shrines were legitimately "mechanics that I wouldn't have thought of/didn't think would work"

not all of them were useful mechanics, but I was predisposed towards them since one of them tutorialized the recall elevator in the first place
